The Devils Auction.

The "Devil's Auction,"a spectacu.
lar melange OF comedy and ballet, has
been q familiar visitor for four years,
and, unlike most travelling spectacles.
It gets better every year. The very
large audience that saw the spectacle
at the Central" saw IL in q guise en-
tirely new. The scenery is all bright
as aapin and as gorgeous as could be
wished; the costumes are all handsome
and new; the mechanical surprises in
genious and amusing. and from first
to last Improved to be one Of the finest
ballet spectacles ever given here. The
ballet is large and full OF pretty girls.
The. Devils Auction is just cram
med full Of good things. and We wish
we could spare the space TO fully des-
cribe the many wonderful specislties
that were introduced In the play.
Suffice it to say We never saw their
equals In their peculiar line. 1t Is al
together most enjoyable and in many
respects the very best show Of Its kind
ever presented In this city, and the
Central will deserve big houses while
II Is on the boards. Though in the
house there was fair representation
of ladies, yet the preponderance of
the other sex shows that the Devils
Auction is not properly understood by
the gentler ones. who love the spectac-
ulsr The ballet is thorougly clean,
and nothing in the dialogue or any
part Of the piece Is coarse.-Philadel-
